Here is a link that I found years ago when I first started on the web
Royal and Noble Genealogical Data on the Web

I would surf this website for hours when I first found it. Some aspects of it do need to be updated, but its still interesting.

Here are some more sites:

Here is a very precious link: Roglo. It is a database who was firstly based on royal and noble genealogies, and who got developed with every relative of noble and royal one. As I'm one of the contributor, if you see "xxx" instead of a name, I would be glad to help you and give the hidden datas.

Me too! Here is another good site. It has excellent information but naviagtion is not as easy as the above site.

Leo's Genealogics Website

This researcher, T.F. Boettger, has one of the best sites around related to Imperial, Royal, Princely and Aristocratic genealogy. It took me some time to find the updated link because he changed his address to another place. But I finally found his new and improved sites divided by country:

Genealogies in the Collection of T.F. Boettger listed by country

Bonus links: This other section of his site, in beautiful flash animation, has the following sub-sites for those curious Royal Forum minds:

The Era of Fabergé

The Russian Imperial Award System (a recomended must read book)

Titles of Nobility and the Usurpation of Titles : includes his work on titles and nobility in Poland past and present as well as the usurpers of those titles, titles in the countries that controlled Poland from 18-20th Century and titles in the Napoleonic era. On the bottom of that particular link he discusses Historical Notes on the Concession of Titles, that section will help answer many questions from Royal Forum members (myself included) on the process required for those titles. Enjoy the reading!
an interesting quote on the above link is this one:

...In 1473 (and not in 1476), Rafal Leszczyński obtained from Emperor Frederick III the title of count. This title was conferred on "the entire family". This fact must be noted as contrary to English and Spanish usage; in Poland, titles were always borne by females, by the wives and descendants of both sexes...


Joyaux ayant composé l’écrin de la Princesse Lobanoff de Rostoff

ps. check out his list of names of contributors to his site, is quite impressive as well as his published works list

ps. this is my post # 998, two more to hit the millenium mark!

Paul Theroff's Online Gotha is wonderful for both royal & noble genealogies and news.

I love this genealogy sub forum too. The sites posted here are heavy weights on royal information, you could spent days reading and learning not just on the family links but also on all the royal system and how it worked through out the centuries.

The genealogical site Välkommen till Robert Warholm doesn't work at the moment!

I just tried Robert Warholm's site and it's working now.
